Scotland striker Steven Fletcher admits he thought his international days were numbered.

The Owls' forward has enjoyed a return to form and fitness this season, after missing the entire second half of last term due to a knee injury.

He has posted a clutch of impressive performances for Jos Luhukay's team and his form led to a call-up by Scotland boss Alex McLeish.

Fletcher could win his first cap in 13 months on Saturday when the Scots travel to Albania in a Nations League assignment.

Ahead of the encounter, Fletcher said: "I've been out for about a year and a half with my knee so it was [a case of] me looking and thinking, 'I've not officially retired but maybe my time has gone for the national team'.

"But I've managed to get back pain-free which is always good.

"I've started playing well this season so when I got the call (from McLeish) I jumped at the chance to come back."

Fletcher insists he still has plenty to offer despite being the oldest outfield member of the Tartan Army's latest squad.
